NEW FASHIONS N PARIS.
Costumes and Colors that are AL the
Go-Gauzc Dresses in Favor.
lr.,,s the Neao YORK Star.

and girls wear gauze dresses worked
with gold or silver. The effect by gas
light is very pretty. These gauze dresses
are made quite straight, and are worn
over silk skirt of the same color.
Gauze, tuIlo or light crepons are the IA
vorite materials with young ladies'. A
very pretty costume seen at Il Fashionable
dressmakers was OF pineapple cOlOred
satin. On the left side was a straight
band of tulle covered with flocks OF silk
velvet. A gauZe skirt worked with silver
threads was tDrOWn over the dress, but
in sucl a way as not to hide this band.
The cOrsage was OF pink satin trimmed
with the same tiocks OF silk velvet. A
bow of pink tulle and flowers should
adorn the hair when this costume is put
on. ROSe-cOiored dresses are also worn a
great deal by young ladies. White and
cream tints are quite out of fashion. Blue
is seen very little, whether dark or light.
Pink is tAe ra e. A very pretty costume
woHld be pink tulle skirt and an emer-
aid green velvet cOrsage; but it must be
very simple. The OVERSIGHT should be
very full and jauntily Topped up here and
there, showing Il pink satin underskirt.
The cOrsage should fasten in the back, be
very tight fitting, and without trimming
OF any kind.
For ladies, satin is a great favorite, and
velvet is literally laid on the shelf. The
truth is that 8 velvet dress is very I'M
comfortable. 1t is very heavy and sticks
to everything it touches. Satin, on the
contrary, is lighter, slips about like a
cat, hangs in graceful folds and changes
color like smooth summer lake.
For evening or afternoon receptions
pushes OF soft tints-pale rose,
very light blue and lavender
are much used, and make charming
dresses. The cOrsage and train are of
plush, while the skirt is of heavy silk or
satin, trimmed with rich embroideries OF
silver or gold silk. Ore side OF the train
is artlstically caught up by cord made
of gold thread and beads. Afternoon cos
tunes are also made of pushes, but Of
dark tInts and of French silks. The
plush skirt is trimmed with
narrow f1ounce of silk. The
corsage is in silk. with a small silk
vest of the same color, and under the cor
sage on the skirt are two paniers lined
with silk and caught up in the style of
LOUIS XIV. This costume is very sim
pie and yet very stylish. The richest
fashions OF the past are in vogue to-day.
Louis WI. dresses are now all the rage.
TO give your readers some idea Of what
our best dressmakerS can produce and
what our finest ladies are wearing, Will
describe one Of the stunning toilets that
everybody was admiring at the dress re
hearsal of "Patrie." The skirt was OF
white French silk with very long
train. The breadths were not joined,
but were left open so as to
Snow a at ip of white satin
that was broad at the bottom and ran up
to pointat the waist. This satin strip
was set fl with narrow gold embroidery
and brown s0utacbe. The bottom of the
skirt was trimmed with sable, The cor

in front as in a coTsage a la vierge. Be
tween The plalts was embroidery like that
OF the skirt. The sleeves were simply
loose piece of silk reaching 60 the wrist,
and fastened to the corsage by diamond
crescents. The fair lady's hair was
adorned with a diadum Of brIlliants.
The ball dresses that you now see at
evening parties take you to tairylan0.
Some are OF royal white satin worked
with multic0lOred arabesques of beads
and tiny gold sequins which glitter under
the gaslight like spangles, Others, with
a satin or silk un0erskirt, are made of
tulle embroidered with little cut glass
sequins and with gold. Evening wraps
are in bTOcades, Vtlvets, plushes, etc,
and are trimmed with costly turs or lace.
The sealskin jacket is ali the go for the
daytime. 1t is handsome, comfortable,
and being expensive becomes quite an
aristocrauc garment. Any pleasant
morning YOU can see our pretty Paris ans
walking OuS to tie Bots, sporting tailor
made dresses, scalskin jackets and small
English velvet or fur caps. Theirdelicate
little hands are hidden in tiny mutfs. A
bird-pheasant, s36gull or GOYe-is wound
gracefully A bout the mutf with its sweet
head tucked under its wing. This is
much more stylish than the fur mutfS
worn by everybody.
At the theatre one OF the newest things
is a neat opera glass case made out of
ancient stEffs, out OF the stole or
maniple OF some Old priest who passed
away ages ago. The stitf brocade forms
the case, and from this As bottom there
rises bag made o.. plush or satin, which
holds all the various trinKets that fash
i0nable lady carries with her-her pow

mirror. lace handkerchief, the rouge for
the lips and the inseparable fan. This
opera glass case bag Is charming in
